Precision Microalgae: A New Conceptual Framework for Bioengineering Applications

Microalgae are promising platforms for biomass production, carbon capture, biofuels, and high-value bioproducts. However, despite significant advances in cultivation technologies, reactor engineering, and metabolic engineering, industrial i...

Insights into the entire building life cycle assessment (LCA): existing trends, challenges and prospective framework

Building sustainability assessment increasingly demands life cycle coverage that captures environmental burdens and trade-offs beyond operational energy, including embodied impacts and end of life (EoL) outcomes under circular economy (CE) ...

Learning and Evolution: Factors Influencing an Effective Combination

(1) Background: The mutual relationship between evolution and learning is a controversial argument among the artificial intelligence and neuro-evolution communities. After more than three decades, there is still no common agreement on the m...

Artificial Intelligence for Enhancing Resilience

In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, resilience-the ability to withstand and recover from adverse conditions is essential across various sectors. This research paper investigates the transformative potential of artificial int...

Environmental footprint of inhalational paediatric anaesthesia: emission intensity is highest in smaller patients.

Generative AI: reconfiguring supervision and doctoral research

The uptake of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools has implications for doctoral research and academic publication practices within both construction management and the wider academic context. Unless these implications are under...

A Generalized Framework for Adopting Regression-Based Predictive Modeling in Manufacturing Environments

In this paper, the growing significance of data analysis in manufacturing environments is exemplified through a review of relevant literature and a generic framework to aid the ease of adoption of regression-based supervised learning in man...

Bridging the Education–Employment Gap in Europe: An AI-Driven Approach to Skill Matching

Education–employment mismatch represents a persistent structural issue across Europe, especially among young people. In line with the digital transformation, green transformation and population aging, new jobs are emerging every day, and so...

Evidence for Dynamical Filtering: High Binary Fraction, Hard-binary Excess, and Unresolved Triples in the Surviving Core of NGC 6791

We present a deep photometric analysis of the main-sequence (MS) population in the old, metal-rich open cluster (OC) NGC 6791 using Gaia Data Release 3 data. After correcting for differential reddening, we use the Bayesian model comparison ...

Artificial intelligence for waste management in smart cities: a review

The rising amount of waste generated worldwide is inducing issues of pollution, waste management, and recycling, calling for new strategies to improve the waste ecosystem, such as the use of artificial intelligence. Here, we review the appl...

Using LLMs for Augmenting Hierarchical Agents with Common Sense Priors

Solving long-horizon, temporally-extended tasks using Reinforcement Learning (RL) is challenging, compounded by the common practice of learning without prior knowledge (or tabula rasa learning). Humans can generate and execute plans with te...

Evaluating new technology for biodiversity monitoring: Are drone surveys biased?

Abstract Drones and machine learning‐based automated detection methods are being used by ecologists to conduct wildlife surveys with increasing frequency. When traditional survey methods have been evaluated, a range of factors have been fou...

Digitalization: A Strategic Approach for the Travel and Tourism Industry

Currently, we live in a world that is constantly changing, one in which the digital environment is constantly evolving. In the travel and tourism industry, there is practically no management decision that is not related to digitization. Add...

Design of the Digital Pathology Workspace for Artificial Intelligence Integration

Designing an optimal digital pathology workspace is essential to ensure diagnostic accuracy and safeguard the long-term well-being of pathologists. While digital pathology improves reproducibility, facilitates multidisciplinary collaboratio...

Development of a BIM-based AI-driven matching tool for LCA datasets

Abstract The construction sector significantly contributes to environmental issues and often relies on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the quantification and optimization of its environmental impacts. One of the most time- and labour-intens...
